We removed this in WHMCS 8.8.

LinkPoint or First Data Global Gateway was a payment gateway in WHMCS.

This module uses First Data Global Gateway’s Legacy integration method. Make sure that your First Data account uses the Legacy system.

Adding the LinkPoint Payment Gateway

To set up the LinkPoint payment gateway in WHMCS:

  1. Go to Configuration () > Apps & Integrations or Addons > Apps & Integrations.
  2. Click LinkPoint.
  3. Check Show on Order Form to display this payment method in the Client Area during checkout.
  4. Enter your LinkPoint credentials:
    • The store number is the number that LinkPoint assigned to you during signup.
    • The key file is the file that you need to download from your account with them and then upload to your server.
      • Enter the full path to the uploaded file (for example, /home/username/pem1423.key).
      • We recommend you store it outside of the publicly-accessible folder tree.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Test Mode

You can use test mode to simulate payment processing without actually causing a transaction to occur. This can be useful for testing your configuration.

Troubleshooting

You can find information about most payment gateway-related errors in the logs at Billing > Gateway Log and in the Module Log.
